Preseason is now Postseason

In the preseason I listed 125 of the top college prospects in the Ohio Class of 2018. Listed in alphabetical order for easy reference. Because height/weight are so inaccurate, they are not listed. GPA’s are not updated here. This list will be updated during the season.

I am not expert enough to rank prospects, but I do not like to miss anyone. What players have I missed in the Ohio Class of 2018?
